I started this blog to provide a casual, recreational level of fantasy NASCAR advice and discussion.  I've been playing these contests for a number of years and am annoyed by lineup sellers and groups of players using the same lineup.  I'm hoping to give the casual player some help in building solid lineups that can beat that annoying crowd most of the time.  I'm not a "tout" and don't do this for a living, so proceed accordingly.  I hope you enjoy the discussion here and Good Luck!

Qualifying got rained out halfway through, so we've got a bit of a wacky qualifying order. There are a number of really good position difference plays starting in the back that will lead to a lot of chalky lineups in cash games. Let's talk through some of the options--
  • Tyler Reddick - He's in the #48 car and was really fast on Friday before the rain hit. He should be a Top 10 car and has Top 5 upside at a track that suits him perfectly.
  • Ryan Truex - He has a Top 3 long run car in practice, but had some kind of mechanical issue on his qualifying run before the rain hit. The issue gives me some hesitation, but it's likely a big team like JGR can diagnose and fix the issue before the race. He'll probably start from the rear, but that's fine with his 28th official starting spot.
  • John Hunter Nemechek - He had the best 5-lap and 10-lap times in practice on Friday and won the Truck Series race Friday night. Like Reddick, this should be a Top 10 car with Top 5 potential.
  • Stephan Parsons, Josh Bilicki and Tommy Joe Martins - The best of the punt options since they start really far back and all have some experience here. If salary is no issue, that's the order I'd use them in. I am worried about TJM because his speed was way off in practice and his pre-rain qualifying run was not very good at all.
    • I could also see using Timmy Hill as a punt, but be cautious and realistic. It's not going to be a very reliable or fast car. But he is a better driver then half the field.
    • I'm also adding Bayley Currey here because he's so darn cheap. He shouldn't go backwards unless the car breaks. And he's typically been finishing in the low- to mid-20s in incident free races. (They're Xfinity punts, so it's hard to feel real good about any of these.)
  • Noah Gragson - He's usually awesome at the worn out tracks that run fast right along the wall. I think he wins this race and leads a good chunk of laps.
  • Josh Berry - Also excels at worn out race tracks and is coming off a great win at Dover last week. Probably not a cash game play, but like him a lot as a possibly lower owned dominator in tournaments.
